Both of those I've found to add about a half hour to my commutes. The 134/101 to the 405 adds like 15 minutes usually. I never experimented with times of day in these areas too much beyond about 8-10 though. Midday traffic is hit or miss anywhere in LA.
This post lets you know you're in LA.

Okay I suppose I'll try the 134 through the 405. Hope that carpool lane on 405 south is open tomorrow morning.

The only reason I'm doing this is because my friend is going to be paid $150 for some survey at Riot Games for League of Legends and I'm using it as a reason to visit the Santa Monica's Farmers Market.

Plot a street route from the 134 in case the 405 is all 405-ish. Which it usually is.

Normally I'd just take the 10 but the morning commute is going to be brutal like usual.

Since there is no carpool after you past the 710 on the 10 would it be faster to take the 134 to the 405 even though I have to travel a bit more?
ooooohhh...thats a harsher route. I think going on the south 605 to the 10 going west would be best. Unless you're trying to avoid any traffic on the 605, you can go south on Baldwin til you hit the 10 freeway.

I'm coming from Arcadia so going to 605 would be go backwards for me.

I'm close to the 210 and it has carpool all the way to 405.

10 carpool stops after 710 and traffic will usually clear up until you hit the 101 and 5 split so that's the part I hate the most.

Nah man. Taking the 210/134/405 is suicide regardless of carpool, especially if you're trying to get to Santa Monica. You're gonna be worse off than going the 10 to the 405.

Vasquez Rocks is supreme in its awesomeness, but keep it on the DL, they occasionally send out park rangers to make sure no one is taking pictures, you're supposed to pay for a photography permit, but I've never had a problem out there.


The rock pool at Malibu Creek state park is pretty neat too.

Last time I went hiking there, some dude caught a huge frog:



This is also the place where they used to film MASH, and some of the set items are still there (just left them out in the wild when the show ended).




And there's a giant dam.

Good god, how do you even attempt eating that? It's like happiness incarnate.

My favorite ridiculous burger is 'the patrolman' from the Burger Boss truck:


bacon, blue cheese, grilled onions, and an apple-cranberry reduction on a grilled donut.

Got food poisoning at Slater's last time.
Apparently, when they put the Bacon inside the beef, it wasn't cooked enough.

IMO, ask them to cook it well done.
Besides that, its a fantastic fusion.
